Guide to buying property in Paris - The Good Life France
Briefly

Buying property in Paris can be daunting for overseas buyers due to the lack of a centralized database for listings. Prospective buyers must search multiple property websites individually, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. Desirable properties are quickly taken off the market, often within 48 hours, making timely access essential. A bilingual professional with local expertise can assist in navigating this complex market. Buyer’s agencies, like Metropolitan Properties Paris, prioritize the buyer's needs and streamline the search process by offering comprehensive listings beyond their own. This support proves invaluable for those unfamiliar with the Parisian real estate landscape.
"Unlike the US, France has no central database of properties for sale. As a buyer, you have to trawl through all the property websites one at a time to find what's on the market, which is both time-consuming and impractical."
"Highly desirable properties in Paris can sell in less than 48 hours, so by the time you've scanned the relevant website, your dream property could already be sold."
"Metropolitan Properties Paris is a buyer's agency. We focus 100% on the buyer, doing the legwork to make sure that you see everything that meets your criteria."
